What's great about it: Easy set-up, no lag
What's not so great: n/a
I purchased both a wirless adapter for xbox 360 and continuously had issues with connection and lag, even though I spent a good penny for one of the best adapters out!
Finally decided to try out Rocketfish Network Cable instead, and to my surprise, it operated much better than the adapter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Length, Quality, Usefulness
I often like to have wired connections for my consoles as direct connections offer a better network experience, and this cable does not disappoint! For one it is extremely long, able to reach across almost two rooms. This makes it less of a hassle to make adjustments to the location of your console/router. Definitely a must buy for wired gaming!

What's great about it: length
What's not so great: bad connection
I bought this cord to use for my Xbox. I connected it directly from my router to my Xbox and it rarely works. I play Call Of Duty, and i lag out of almost every single game. It makes it virtually impossible to stay on Xbox Live for more than five minutes. At first, i thought the extra length would be helpful, but I've found that using a shorter cord produces better results. I would only recommend this cord to somebody i hate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: affordability, does what it says.
What's not so great: nothing
I purchased this to connect my blue ray theater system to my internet to be able to view HD movies thru VUDU. It works great. I needed the extra length due to my internet router is in one location and my unit was in another. It is definately worth the money and does what you need it to do to view movies, connect to the internet and so on. Worth it and affordable and ez to connect. Hassle free.

What's great about it: Its a CABLE.. not "great" just works...
What's not so great: Its a CABLE.. not "great" just works...
Works!... for Networking and is cheaper than the one over by the PC's... If you need a cable and aren't real picky get your cable from the gaming section and save around 33% vs. what the PC/Apple area people charge for the same thing...!?? and kudos to a 'nameless employee' who showed me the light.... .... and saved me over $12..! Great Customer Service!

What's great about it: Cheap and works Great!
What's not so great: None
This Cord was only $20.00 for 50 feet. I saw much smaller ones for the same price. I opened it plugged it into my router ran the wire through the floor and walls into the back of my sons xbox and it worked perfectly.
I saved $90.00 because I did not have to buy the wireless hookup for the xbox.

It's a high quality cable that worked out great for my home theater. If you spend all that money for an A/V system you don't want cheap cables that might not give you the best performance.

What's great about it: Much cheaper than wireless adapter for Xbox360.
Much cheaper than using the wireless adapter for Xbox360. Arrived quickly. This is a nice HEAVY cable. Had to drill a couple holes and run it through the crawl space, but worth it for the money saved!

What's great about it: It's Cat5e cable, like any other ethernet cable
What's not so great: Saying it's basically just for consoles, it's pc also
This cable is nothing special, the heading for it sounds like it's made especially for consoles, it will work with anything that has a LAN port on it, same as your everyday ethernet cable for your pc. Just buy ethernet cable for the length you need and it will work just the same.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, very long
What's not so great: Wire gets tangles up
I bought this Network cable so i can hook it up to my XBOX 360 so I can play XBOX Live. The item came earlier than I expected and I immediately set it up. It took me less than a couple minutes to get it up and running. It is a very long wire so don't worry about the length. This wire is serving its purpose to me without a single problem.

What's great about it: Great Quality, 50 Feet of Cable, Fast Connection Speed
What's not so great: 50 Feet of Cord Excessive For My Little 12 Foot Room, But Who's Complaining!
I absolutely love these network cables! They make playing with friends an absolute dream! The 50 foot cord is more than enough length to reach almost anywhere in my house making the options for multiplayer gaming much more interesting.
+
I have only had this cord for a short period of time now, but I love having the ability to play with a friend on two side by side tvs or set up big team matches with one tv in my bedroom and the other in my living room! The connection speed is not the fastest I've seen, but it is great for the price.
+
The only bad thing about this cord is having to wrap up 50 feet of cording everytime I'm done with it. In reality though, I would never complain about having an ample amount of cable for a rediculous low price! Also, when I looked at basic ethernet Cat6 cables, the price is nowhere near decent in comparison ($50 - $80 each!!!).
+
I would highly recommend this cable to anyone out there. I have only found it in white, but unless you are really crazy about your cords matching your xbox console (and you don't have a basic Arcade or Pro version), you'll be just fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This works really good. I looked at other network cables and most of them cost like 50$. This one was only 20$. It reaches a good length so you can play in a different room than your modem is in.
